Tributes, Acknowledgement and Dedication
I wish to pay tribute to the late very great Grandmaster Antonio 'Tatang' Illustrisimo.  It is from him and his students that I acquired my current level of understanding and skill in Arnis.  I wish to thank all his senior students for their part in teaching and training me, in particular:  Tony Diego, Edgar Sulite, Romy Macapagal, Yuli Romo, Rey Galang, Christopher Ricketts and Raymond Floro.  Other teachers I wish to acknowledge are Dan Inosanto and Bobby Taboada, and other teachers who have contributed to my understanding in some ways:  Ondo Caburnay, Dionisio Canette, Nick Elizar etc.  And not forgetting my first teacher - my own father Henry Chow Fook On.

I dedicate this website to all past, present and future practitioners of Arnis, hoping they will find peace and truth.
